The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): I have a further supplementary question. Sorry to the chamber, Mr President. Given the minister says we have changed the way we do research, can she explain how we have changed research in excellence in dryland broadacre farming, water use efficiency, herbicide tolerance and farming systems? How have we changed the research into those disciplines?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:39): I am happy to take those very detailed questions on notice and bring back a response.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Brokenshire has a supplementary.
